Patent EP-0874386-A3 (EP)
IPC: H01L21/31
Filed: 1998-04-17
Abstract: An apparatus and methods for a CVD system incorporates a plasma
system for efficiently generating a plasma remotely from a substrate processing zone.
The remotely generated plasma may be used to clean unwanted deposits from a
chamber, or may be used during substrate processing for etching or depositing
processes. In a specific embodiment, the present invention provides an easily
removable, conveniently handled, and relatively inexpensive microwave plasma source
mounted on the lid of a deposition system. The remote microwave plasma source has a
plasma reaction volume that is relatively large compared to a plasma applicator tube
volume. Locating the gas inlet between the plasma reaction volume and a microwave
power coupler improves the conversion efficiency of microwave energy to ionic plasma
species.

Filed: 1994-03-01
Abstract: Mismatch error occur in the local decoder of a MPEG-standard compressor for a motion picture
signal, and in an MPEG-standard expander for a compressed motion picture signal. This is because of
the lack of a standard for rounding results of *.5 (* is an integer) obtained when a set of transform
coefficients resulting from compressing the motion picture signal is inversely orthogonally
transformed. The invention prevents mismatch errors by preprocessing the set of transform
coefficients prior to the inverse orthogonal transform. The transform coefficients in the set are
summed, and the parity (odd or even) of the sum is judged. When the parity of the sum is judged to
be even, the parity of one of the transform coefficients in the set is inverted to provide a parity-inverted
transform coefficient. This makes the parity of the sum odd. Then, when the set of
transform coefficients including the parity-inverted transform coefficient is inversely othogonally
transformed, none of the results of the orthogonal transform will have a value of *.5.

Abstract: A semiconductor device has a device isolation oxide film (2), an interlayer insulating
film (6), hydrogen barrier films (7), a lower electrode (8), a capacitor insulating film (9), an upper
electrode (10), an interlayer insulating film (13) and a wiring layer (14), formed on a silicon
substrate (1). A gate electrode (5) is formed on a gate oxide film (4) between impurity
diffusion regions (3) in the silicon substrate (1). Further, a capacitor portion (19), comprising
the lower electrode (8), the capacitor insulating film (9)(ferroelectric or high dielectric
substance) and the upper electrode (10), is completely covered with the hydrogen
barrier films (7,11,12). The hydrogen barrier films prevent deterioration of the ferroelectric
substance and the high dielectric constant material due to reducing conditions in
a hydrogen atmosphere. Other device characteristics, however, are not adversely
affected because only the capacitor portion is completely covered with the
hydrogen barrier films.

interconnected delay elements, to which an input signal
(PA) is input and which sequentially outputs, from a
plurality of connecting points of the delay elements, a
plurality of delayed signals obtained by delaying the input
signal by a delay period determined by the numbers of the
delay elements. Several pulse phase difference encoding
circuits (52, 54) to each of which a pulse signal (PB, PX)
is input, and each of which detects a delayed signal
corresponding to an input timing of the pulse signal (PB,
PX) among the plurality of delayed signals output by the

position of the delay element of the delay circuit which
issues the delayed signal, and generates digital data (D0-D14)
corresponding to a phase difference between the input
signal (PA) and the pulse signal (PB, PX) by using the
position data. The several pulse phase difference encoding
circuits (54, 56) share the delay circuit (52) in generating

Abstract: Optical fiber cable components such as buffer tubes (12), filler rods (116), or jackets
are produced using a thermoplastic polyolefin characterized by a high melt flow
index, that is a melt flow index greater than about 3.
The use of material with a high melt flow index versus conventional
"extrusion grade" materials which are characterized by a low melt flow index
results in substantial improvements in buffer tube crystallinity and crystallization
rates, improved buffer tube crush resistance, reduced post extrusion shrinkage,
improved gel compatibility, and improved excess fiber length control. The
advantages of using materials with a high melt flow index are most evident when
processing thermoplastic materials such as nucleated polyethylene-propylene
copolymers at high line speeds (shear rates) of over 50M/min.

Abstract: A trench MOSFET is formed in a structure which
includes a P-type epitaxial layer overlying an N+
substrate. An N drain region is implanted through the
bottom of the trench into the P-epitaxial layer, and
after a diffusion step extends between the N+ substrate
and the bottom of the trench. The junction between the
N drain region and the P-epitaxial layer extends
between the N+ substrate and a sidewall of the trench.
In some embodiments the epitaxial layer can have a
stepped doping concentration or a threshold voltage
adjust implant can be added. Alternatively, the drain
region can be omitted, and the trench can extend all
the way through the P-epitaxial layer into the N+
substrate. A MOSFET constructed in accordance with
this invention can have a reduced threshold voltage and
on-resistance and an increased punchthrough breakdown
voltage.
